<p>When reporting is enabled, you can log spent effort to tasks,
stories, iterations, projects or products. Use the level of detail that is actually needed.</p>

<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
  <tr>
    <td style="text-align: center; width: 50%; padding: 0.5em;">
      <img src="static/img/help/backlog_spent_effort.png" alt="" style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;"/>
      <br/>
      <span style="font-style: italic; ">Opening the spent effort dialog of a backlog.</span>
    </td>
    <td style="text-align: center; width: 50%; padding: 0.5em;">
      <img src="static/img/help/story_spent_effort.png" alt="" style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;"/>
      <br/>
      <span style="font-style: italic; ">Double clicking the ES cell opens the same dialog as the
      spent effort link in the edit menu.</span>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

<p>
When reporting is enabled, the Reporting tab appears. On this tab
you can generate reports of spent effort and export the information as
an Excel document.

<strong>Note!</strong>
Logging spent effort does not affect the estimated effort left
for a task.
